A Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) worker allegedly issued a supari for the murder of his party’s vice-president. When adequate payment did not follow the orders, the contract killer turned on him and informed the MNS leader of the plot that had been hatched to bump him off.

The accused has been identified as Jaan Shah, an MNS worker from Kurla (West). Officers of the Mumbai Crime Branch arrested Shah on Saturday.
